So while you were at the Lansing plant festvities, did you talk to an employee? Ask a few questions? Get a few answers?
I would like to hear what you found out.
Here is what I found out (and it isn't that much because I was just so busy doing something..that's why I want to know what you found out)
Item 1) I talked to an employee who was telling me that she was on a team that fixed the fit of where the front fender, lower front fender and door came together.
I had not really noticed that there was an issue there. She showed me where there was an offset (not even an 1/8 inch I think) (I know I should have a picture of the area I'm talking about....I'll see if I can add it later). She said that was now fixed for the 2006's. I thought that this was a VERY minor detail and was surprised that they had a team to try and fix it.
Item 2) Again the same employee told me that she worked on the team that developed the rear fender guards. She said that you would not believe the effort that went into designing those. She said they are attached with adhesive (which has been noted on this site before).
Item 3) I heard this from someone who heard this, so I hope I'm getting it right.
The quality control guy did not know about the tops cutting into the padding in the top storage area. Maybe we could have a liason between our site and the quality control guy to inform him of the issues that we have so that he is more informed (what do you think about that Marc?)
Item 4) I got to talk to some computer guys (I'm a computer guy). I was hoping that they were going to be the guys who programmed our SSRs, but they turned out to be facility programmers. They worked on the computer systems that get the SSR built. They said that they work hard up front and then just tweak stuff as the MY goes on.
So if you have a good employee story, post it here!
